TRUCKS IN CALIFORNIA: WHAT U.S. & OVERSEAS COMPANIES MUST KNOW ABOUT CARB COMPLIANCE Knowledge Lab | Oct. 9 | 4:00pm-5:00pm
Summary Air Quality Overview and Health Impacts Diesel Emissions Reductions Programs The Air Quality “Trifecta” in California Enforcement & Responsible Parties “Sustainable Freight Strategy” Questions and Answers
California is a “Nation-State” Stats 37 million residents Ranks as the 6 th or 7 th largest economy globally About 25% of domestic logistics revenue touches the state 25 million light gasoline vehicles Over 1 million diesel vehicles Recognized nationally and internationally for emissions reductions programs
California Trade Corridors Seaports and rail facilities are located in areas with high population density Economic and environmental justice are concerns in these areas The communities surrounding the ports have driven much of the change toward lower emissions A public policy and economic tug of war continues on how to fund needed infrastruture

California Air Regulatory Overview Three Levels The United States Environmental Protection Agency implements federal law relating to stationary and mobile sources of emissions CARB implements mobile source controls The 35 local Air Districts have some role in mobile sources but concentrate on stationary sources
CARB Structure Twelve member Board State legal authority to protect the public from pollution The United States EPA acts upon “waiver” requests from CARB in order for CARB to enact fleet rules Other states are adopting California-style rules (e.g. South Carolina Port Trucking)
CARB is Almost 50 Years Old Major initiatives: Catalytic converters Lead removal from gasoline Low sulfur diesel MTBE/oxygenated fuels Low emission cars: ZEV/PZEV/ULEV/SULEV

CARB Port-related Regulations
Phase 1: 2009 through 2013 20,000 heavy truck required diesel particulate filters or replacement statewide In Los Angeles & Long Beach, replacement was required by 2012
Phase 2: 2014 through 2022 Heavy trucks that were retrofit must be replaced with 2010 or newer engines
Strategy 3: Burn Less Fuel Regulates 53 foot and longer box-type trailers (dry-van & refrigerated-van trailers) and the tractors that pull them Tractor Trailer Greenhouse Gas
